The Sam Houston Racing Club, a new collaboration between Sam Houston Race Park and MyRacehorse, was launched Monday, the track announced via press release.
Compared to a traditional racing club, the Sam Houston Racing Club gives members the opportunity to become racehorse owners rather than simply joining a fan club. This includes real equity, earnings participation, and direct access to their horse's journey. Through the MyRacehorse app, club owners receive real-time updates delivered directly to their phones, including training progress, race entries, and insights from the trainer.
Members can RSVP for owner-only events, follow their horse's development from the barn to race day, and, if the horse is successful on the track, receive earnings directly into their MyRacehorse digital wallet. The Sam Houston Racing Club will kick off with sophomore colt Onthethirstyside (Stay Thirsty) trained by Mindy Willis.
“This partnership is about meeting today's fans where they are and inviting them further inside the sport,” said Bryan Pettigrew, general manager of Sam Houston Race Park. “The Sam Houston Racing Club gives people a legitimate stake in the action while reinforcing our commitment to innovation, hospitality, and top-tier racing experiences here in Texas.”
“Racing clubs aren't new, but true ownership at this scale is,” said Michael Behrens, CEO of MyRacehorse. “MyRacehorse was built to solve the biggest challenges facing ownership groups: access, communication, education, and transparency. This partnership with Sam Houston Race Park allows us to bring real ownership to more people while delivering a modern, intuitive experience that keeps owners engaged every step of the way.”
